Great solution for quiet listening, 02/20/2010
By billipo, Normandy, TN
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I use these primarily for watching TV after my wife has gone to sleep. They work and sound great, but they get a little uncomfortable after extended periods. The behind the head design is probably good for active things like playing the Wii but not so great for laying on a pillow.

As for the overall performance of the product, they deliver clear sounds. There is no awesome sound range, but they are affordably priced. There is always a tradeoff. The only problem I have with them is the low static sound in the right ear phone. It becomes less noticeable if you turn the sound up on the headphones. Otherwise, they function well. Oh yeah, another problem I have had with them is that the power adapter that came with the unit buzzes when plugged in. I might contact the manufacturer about a replacement. I have never had a power adapter that has buzzed noticeably loud before.

nice sounds, 02/22/2009

These are very nice and comfortable. They sound great and others can't hear it at all. The are great while playing all sorts of games and music. I wish they come with two so when you play games with others it would stay quiet. I enjoy them. You can also use them for the tv or stero system.

very nice, 08/12/2008

There only seems to be 3 problems with this, all of which are hardly a problem.
The first thing is that the sound cuts off if there is too much blocking the path between the headphones and the transmitter, but it seems like it needs more than your hands and a remote to block it enough to give any static noise.
The second thing is that the transmitter emits the same light a sensor bar does and can cause some confusion for the wii remote, and I do mean "some". I didn't have problems because the sensor bar is on top of my tv and the transmitter is about a foot below my tv. Even if you have problems you can block the light with something small or flip the receiver around(it doesn't seem to hurt the signal). You can check the sensor bar sensitivity settings to see if the lights show up. If they used bluetooth then you'd get much less interference(if any) when in another room or when something big is in the way, but since I use it mainly for playing games I need a clear view of the tv anyway.
The third thing is that it may hurt your ears after playing for a long time. Just take a break for a while and you'll be fine. You're supposed to take a break from gaming after a while anyway.

For use with a DS, it's a better idea to get headphones that can plug in without an adapter(the two plugs are a bit smaller than the port on the DS). It would be too bulky to hook this up to a DS anyway.

Good Stuff, 05/21/2008

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

This was a great product for us! I wanted to play shoot-em-up games, and my wife wanted to sleep. She bought me the headphones, and they've worked great. The plugs make sure you don't have any conflicts with the home theater system (they have "go between" RCA Jacks). I have the transmitter behind glass in the media cabinet, and it works fine.
These phones sound great as long as you are in the same room as the transmitter. If you go into the bathroom or another room, you won't be able to hear anything but fuzz. BUt that's fine.. its made for playing games quietly.
I like this product, and its helped keep our home much happier, and allows me to play as long as I want while she sleeps.

bad buy, 12/09/2007
By genealogy44, Indiana
Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

I've had two of these, they have both quit within a year. Even ruined the microphone in my DS. I will NEVER buy one again. This is NOT a nintendo product so don't use it with your DS, it ruined mine.
